Just my name? Yeah. Okay, my name is Tisha. Okay. Sorry, I'm not very good at this stuff. I don't really come often, but I do watch almost all the videos since we've moved in over off of homes. I think this will be three years ago we bought the house. And so I just came tonight. I guess the community garden is up for discussion. And I want to know, I want you guys to know, I guess I don't really know how this works, but I know you guys don't talk that great.

We can.

Yeah. You do sometimes?

Okay. Yeah, we let you guys, we let you speak, and then if you, we can, at the very end, then we talk.

Okay, perfect. Sorry. So I just was here just to see the community gardens, a great thing. I love that about living here in this small town. My kids love going there. We walk during the summer. We didn't get to go to a lot of the stuff last year. In the very beginning, my daughter was in the hospital. So I love, I absolutely love that community garden, and I think it's a must-keep. I really do. The Casper one is awesome, but my daughter is in a wheelchair. I love the flower beds. I mean, the height of them are perfect for her. Like, she can roll right up to it. I think it is amazing, and I'm here. Like, if I'm the only one who was cultivated... from the list to be here like I am. And I think there's a lot of other moms and or dads, grandpas, whatever that like to take their kids down there. And to some of the comments on, you know, there's only a handful of people that show up, you know, to do the hard work that I think that's true for most things in life. And I'm here to help to do hard work if we need, like if we need that, I can help, I can get that. I have tons of little kids that can do all stuff and dig stuff and do whatever they need to do. But I just think it's so important to keep that going for kids, for all of us. And I think that in the end, if it's just a bunch of kids going on some walks in the fall and they pick cherry tomatoes on the way home, Cause that's what our kids love to do. They love to walk in there and they'll, you know, we call it getting a snack for our walk home. And they pick a little tray, you know, and we get all the, um, you know, the rubbish and the weeds and stuff out as we go every day. And so I just think that there's a ton of little things that maybe a lot of people didn't see. And I think if there, I think there is community here that wants to step up and to do some more of that hard work to take it off. Some of the people, I don't want to see it gone because a lot of, you know, not enough people here to do it because in the fall, yeah, like,

Yeah, I think that's not all I have to say.

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you for your comments, Trish. I guess we're going to have a little more discussion on this later. It's on the agenda here, so we'll probably get into it a little more, maybe answer a few more of your questions.

Okay.

Thank you.

Thank you.

NEW SPEAKER I'LL SECOND.

NEW SPEAKER I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS ORDINANCE? No discussion. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Motion passed. Item number six. Ordinance number seven, days 2026. An ordinance to amend water rates.

Mr. Mayor, council brought before you tonight on first reading is ordinance seven dash 2026. This is an ordinance to amend water rates. This is an increase of 5% JULY 1 OF THIS YEAR AT 5% INCREASE, AND THEN ANOTHER 5% INCREASE WILL GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1 OF 2027. IT'S BROUGHT FOR YOU TONIGHT ON FIRST READING.

NEW SPEAKER DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR THIS ORDINANCE?

NEW SPEAKER ALL MOTION.

NEW SPEAKER I'LL SECOND. NEW SPEAKER I HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY DISCUSSION ON THIS?

I actually have some discussion on this one. Do you guys, I mean, I know why we're doing it, but I just want to have an open discussion about it. Do you guys think that maybe, or maybe this is maybe a Lexi question, would it be better if we just did the increase only January 1 versus doing 5% now and then 5% again January? I mean, I know why we're doing it. I sat in on that meeting, but I'm just saying. Wouldn't it have been easier, not easier, but maybe less of an impact on residents to do it just January 1 versus July 1 and another 5 January 1?

The way I understand it is we need to do this to get it in step with our fiscal year.

So is your proposal to do 10% now?

No, my proposal would just be the 5% January 1.

Just starting it in January?

Uh-huh. Instead of 5% July 1 and then another 5% January 1, which I understand it would still keep us below where we need to protectively be. I'm just having the conversation about it.

I, for one, kind of like the... family's budgets, 5% now, 5% another six months. So I think it'd be easier to swallow that way.

I for one would rather see us do the 5%. We can start that in July, but then go to the next July and then you can revote on it again in July instead of doing a 10%, just do the five for the year and then you could redo again. instead of going in six months. And then in another six months, you're doing another 5% is how I would go for it.

I would have to defer to Lexi, but I assume that's going to create a budget deficit.

It will. And I know that's why we're doing it, but I was just thinking maybe instead of doing the July one, just do it in January, which I understand it will keep us at that deficit because we would be behind. and what the steps that were, but I just thought I'd throw the conversation out there. So is the proposal to add reserve funds to pay for the deficit? I didn't have the thought. It was a comment that was brought up to me, and I just said, I don't know, I can propose the question, because I didn't know.

Well, I think if we're gonna change this, we have to be fiscally responsible to figure out where the money's gonna come from. I don't discount dropping the cost to the citizens, BE THIS MUCH LESS OR ELSE WE'LL TAKE IT BACK TO BUDGET AND FIGURE OUT WHERE THAT MONEY IS GOING TO COME FROM IN MY OPINION.

NEW SPEAKER OKAY. NEW SPEAKER ANY MORE DISCUSSION? IF NO MORE DISCUSSION, I'LL GO FOR THE VOTE. ALL THOSE IN FAVOR? NEW SPEAKER AYE. NEW SPEAKER OPPOSED? NEW SPEAKER AYE. NEW SPEAKER MOTION PASSED. Item number seven, ordinance number 8-2026, an ordinance to amend sewer rates. Janelle.

Mr. Mayor and council, brought before you tonight on first reading is ordinance 8-2026. This is an ordinance to amend the sewer rates. It's brought before you tonight with an increase to the sewer rates at 5% that would go into effect July 1, 2026. This includes in-town and out-of-town residential commercial users. 27 that's brought before you tonight on first reading.

And do I have a motion? I'll motion. Second. I have a motion and a second. Any discussion on this? I think it's already been made. So all those in favor? Aye. Opposed? Aye. Motion passed. Item number eight, ordinance number nine days, 2026 ordinance to amend sanitation rates.

Mr. Mayor, before you tonight, my first reading this ordinance, I bet 2026, this is an ordinance to him in the sanitation. EFFECT OF JULY 1, 2026. AND THEN ANOTHER 5% THAT WOULD GO INTO EFFECT JANUARY 1 OF 2027. AND THIS WOULD BE FOR RESIDENTIAL COMMERCIAL USERS IN TOWN AS WELL AS OUT OF TOWN.

NEW SPEAKER DO I HAVE A MOTION FOR THIS ORDINANCE? NEW SPEAKER I'LL SECOND. NEW SPEAKER WE HAVE A MOTION AND A SECOND. ANY MORE DISCUSSION? NEW SPEAKER GREAT. There's no discussion. All those in favor? Aye. Opposed?

Aye.

Motion passed. Okay. Item number nine, community garden discussion. Who wants to open this up?

Well, I think this originally got brought up was because of the fact that we are still in a drought and the river is low. And we were talking about trying to be, if we were asking our residents to be fiscally responsible with our water, this is one way of us being fiscally responsible with our water. I was also saying that I was stepping back because I've got too many projects going on and I can't be the lead person on this anymore. I'm definitely going to be happy to just go down when I have time and I can go down and do it, but it's not going to be in my forward thinking of one thing, an extra thing that I have to do and I wanted to step back from. So as of right now, I know we have three people on the list that have come down and actually put their name on the list, which to me is one of those, if you have three solid people that are doing it, truly, it's easily done. So ours to me is one of those that I keep, I kept trying to get across with the last meeting. Yes, we could have people that are there and working on it, but it's about the water. And that's where it's one of those, what I felt like it kept getting pushed back on or not. That was the main point was bringing it up. Yes, I'm stepping back from the garden. Okay. There's going to be other people that are going to do it and step up, but it's mainly about the water. And that's where it was one of those that I know Dan's not in here. I know that they're cutting back with water spots and things like that because we are, we don't have the water this year. And so that's where my issue is. Yes, I know that we will have the community and actually see Evansville, the kids at the garden club in Evansville, where we always buy our plants from, They have already, I've already discussed with the teachers and they are going to be having a garden club this summer and they would love to still have the community garden because they go down there once a week and take the kids down there and they look at the plants that they started when they were seeds to how they grow and they pick weeds and they do that. And so they are definitely a, would love to see the garden continue.

yeah i mean we're having a discussion yeah no you're fine i just remember then the guys from the city where exactly we were talking about last week had said that they still intended on watering all the trees in that area so i just um i and i know the question was how much extra like would that be like i understand that we're saving the water and stuff but i think the lines are

I guess it's one of those, I don't know the per gallon, but normally what I would run it is 15 minutes in the morning, 15 minutes in the evening at night is when I ran it. And as Dan had said, he's like, look, it's not that much more of a water, but that's where it was one of those of we're talking about ways of tightening the belt. And that was one of them. And that's why that was brought up when we had a discussion about it. But there definitely seems to be the, to me, that community on Facebook has been a positive about wanting to keep the garden. So.

Well, I don't follow Facebook, so I'm going to answer.

Well, that's where it was just like, I mean, the post that I... It is, and that's why it was built that way. It was because no one else caters to that. And so we ended up having quite a bit of like... The retirement home, people coming in and working on it even last year, coming in and pulling weeds every couple weeks because they could do it. And that's why it was designed that way. And we made sure it was certain heights because that's what we wanted. And there are no other gardens that have that.

Well, go ahead.

Do you irrigate it like sub-irrigation or is it like a big spring or something?

Well, it's not a big sprinkler system. It just does a circle, and it just comes up and just mushrooms out. It's a pop-up mist. It's not a pop-up. It just goes. It's already there, and it doesn't pop up, but it just comes out and umbrellas out. So... We originally had a lot of issues with the heads for those first few years, but we changed out of heads again last year and got the correct heads for that small area. And we were not having the extra water usage and all the issues that we'd had previously. We got those squared away. So eye for one is to keep the garden going this year.

Well, it sounds like the issue comes down to water. Okay. And I know we brought Robert in on this discussion in the past, and he says that he could, if I remember correctly, he could put beater on that. We could keep track of it.

That would be thousands of dollars to do. Thousands.

I never heard to shake your foot on that.

I had because this has been a topic of discussion. And the meter itself is over $3,000. And then they have to dig the pit and they have to do all this extra running of a pipe just to know how much water is used in a garden that runs 15 minutes in the morning and 15 minutes at night.

So what if we were to, one, either maybe do half of what we've normally done as far as buying plants and this and that, or two, forego it for this year.

Or another option would be we could go ahead and let them get it started, knowing that if we get in a bind for water, we're going to have to shut it off. I'd hate to do that.

Yeah, me too. But it's an option. Could scale it down 50%, so watering would be seven and a half minutes. It may not be enough, maybe enough.

Right, but that's just it. If you're going to do it, do it. If not, don't do it because you're not going to get the yield. You're not going to get – if you're going to do it, you do it correctly. You don't have it.

Did you think that there are some things that we could maybe add? Like you – one of you guys said something about like some kind of catch-up or something. irrigation i guess um like along that line um like we could put some something in there to help catch them like natural rain water i don't know but i think that could be a great like just regarding whether we're just putting in some okay i guess on the top of my head some old rain gutters or some holes in impact mold maybe we could just put on there to help catch some and figure out that as well. Maybe adding something like that in to catch some type of rainwater. Just to help along.

Mine is if Dan's got enough to water the trees and we have enough to water the garden.

I say we just forego it for this year and see where we're at next year. That's my honest opinion on it.

Fred it seems to be to me that the concern is mainly the cost of the water being used to irrigate is the issue does the water coming into the irrigation system the sprinkler system come in at one central point and then branch off to the different sprinkler heads okay at that one point where All of the water comes in.

It's all one continuous line?

Okay. At the point where it comes into that line, can we disconnect that, turn it on for 15 minutes, catch it in a bucket or several buckets, and see how much water is actually going through that line in 15 minutes.

Double that for

or if it's 150 gallons.

Right, but you also, you have pressure and so you'll never get in completely accurate because of when you turn on the pipe, you have a one inch pipe that's just spewing. And when you are running a continuous line that stops at the end, you have pressure. So it's not all going at the same time.

It would still give you a rough idea of whether you're using 15 gallons or 1,500 gallons.

And at that point, you can sit there and decide 1,500 gallons a day is too much. That's foregoing.

That's why I say if they're watering the trees around it and with the sprinklers that they do, then to me, we have enough water to water the garden. Because I guarantee you what waters that three acres of land that waters those trees is way more than what it is for that little garden.

should easily be able to calculate it. Most of any sprinkler head has a maximum flow on it. So if we look at the sprinkler heads we've got and the number of heads we've got, we should be able to calculate the water usage.

If you got into the math of it, you can sit there and say this is the diameter of the inlet, this is the diameter for the line going around, this is what the pressure is coming in, pressure going...

I mean you could do it mathematically, but just

Well, like I said, all sprinkler heads are rated with pressure for how much water that comes out of them. So we should have a rating for them for how much water they produce under normal operation per head. So we should calculate that. On the same token, I am kind of with Alana. I don't believe it's probably an excess of a huge amount of water, to be honest with you. It's not. We are doing the entire park there. It used to be brown before. My guess is the garden isn't more than twice the size of watering the park itself. So if you take the garden's footprint and double that, it's probably about the same, similar water usage you're using for the park itself.

Well, my only comment on that is how, to Alana, is have we gotten the water under control? Because when I found out on there, there's been like green moss on those papers and I can see that as a hazard potentially.

I mean, there's always going to be a little bit of water because I mean, it's a raised bed. So the water does go down. There will always be a little bit of water because gravity and it's just how it is.

Well, I guess the question I've got is, I was not a part of the garden when it initially got started. So is this a situation that we need to put up for vote for the council? Or how do we proceed on this at this point?

It's already budgeted.

I mean, this was already, to me, it was one of those, it was more bringing up the water thing was more a discussion of like, hey, do we want to do this? Do we not want to do this? But it was never brought in for a vote. It's already budgeted. It's been budgeted. When we built it, it was agreed upon that council would pay for water, seeds, amending the soil and plants every year. It's in the minutes.

No, the minutes doesn't say that we did that. It says we purchased that stuff originally.

No, it says every... I went back and looked at it, and it says that it would be a cost on the council every year. Yes, its initial cost is big, but then every year after that, it is a lot less for your seeds, and it even says it in the minutes.

It was less for the seeds and stuff.

The seeds of that, what you guys would be providing every year.

But we had a discussion about the community taking it over.

And that's why, that was my objective, is that since it's a community garden, the community needs to have more stake and more skin in the game than the town paying for it. So, no. And I don't believe that it's in the minutes. I'd like to, if you could show me. Sure.

Let me find, let me, I mean, I can pull it up. Like, I went back and researched. I re-watched all the videos, and I went back into the minutes. Yes, ma'am. I don't know where my phone is.

I didn't have a question. Go back like last year and see how much water you guys did use for that area or that just grouped all together.

Yeah, it's all like that three acres of land is all one water system. So there is no breakdown.

clarify some of that original discussion. Seeds had to be purchased because of the timing of when we were putting it in. It was close to the time at the end. We had to get something moving. And the amending the soil was the same way. We used topsoil to put into that garden. And we had to amend the soil for several years, if I recall the conversation, in order to get that soil suitable. Because had we just bought potting soil from someone else that was already put together, would have cost us way, way more money. So there was initial discussion that FOR SEVERAL YEARS IN ORDER TO GET IT UP TO SPEED. BUT AT THE POINT IN TIME, IF I RECALL, THERE'S VERY MUCH DISCUSSION ABOUT IT BEING A COMMUNITY GARDEN BECAUSE THERE WAS EVEN SOMEONE OFFERING TO TAKE CARE OF THE GARDEN THAT WE WOULD HAVE TO PAY FOR. AND THAT'S WHERE THAT DISCUSSION CAME THAT THE TOWN WAS GOING TO PUT UP AN INITIAL UPFRONT COST IN ORDER TO GET THE THING OFF THE GROUND, BUT EVENTUALLY IT WOULD BE TAKEN OVER BY THE

Well, none of the discussions that I was ever privy to and being the gardener was that was ever discussed. It was always discussed that the town would budget for those things. That's how it was brought to me. And that's how, when we stood up there and made the proposal, I was said.

That's not how I recall that meeting. Me either.

That's why we watched the videos. And if I could find it, I screenshotted it at one point, but obviously that was a while ago.

And I mean, regardless, I know there was no vote on extending that stuff, but we did vote the initial purchase because of what we had to do to get the thing off the ground. Okay, let me find it. Okay.

Okay, in the minutes, Alana Vino handed out drawing and cost estimate to constructed larger community gardens. She stated that the community garden that the town provided last year went over extremely well and stated that they would like to expand it this year and as well as make it a handicap accessible. She stated that they would like the approval to construct a larger garden bed that is made out of a cedar with the handicap accessible and the cost is... to construct is approximately $8,700, along with some additional costs to amend the soil, seeds, plants. She stated that the majority of the cost is up front and that there will be small costs each year to maintain the soil, seeds, and plants. Mayor Edwards stated the town can utilize the optimal one cent tax for these types of projects and that there is money to be set aside for this. Motion was made by Greg Felstadt, seconded by Candace Machado to be approved the proposal for the community garden. Motion carried. So that very last of says that the, The majority of the cost is upfront and then there will be small costs each year to maintain the soil, seeds and plants. You guys agreed to pay for it. You can't go back on that.

Maintain seeds or purchase seeds.

Says to maintain. Maintain the garden beds. Maintain soils, seeds and plants.

And then the soil to maintain.

stated that the majority of the cost is up front, and then there will be a small cost each year to maintain the soil, seeds, and plants.

Cost up front to maintain the soil, seeds, and plants. No, that's not what it says. Not purchase.

It doesn't matter. I mean, Symantec's one or the other. It doesn't say the town's going to buy that stuff every year. There's something that's necessary for that to be maintained. the town rarely purchased at all. But that doesn't mean the town agreed to do it every year.

That's exactly what that says.

No, that says that you had mentioned that this is going to be an upfront cost that will require maintenance every year.

That will require us to do it every year.

And then it was voted on to accept what she said.

So it was only voted on.

Well, the vote was to purchase the $8,000 and some odd cents.

Because of the lumber and all the soil and stuff that had to be done. Yep. And then we originally, then initially put a, or at the end, put a fence around it as well.

That was part of the budget. Correct. That was all in the budget. Yeah.

And there's another piece of that discussion, which was after that, which we had discussed and said, we want to get this thing off the ground and then it will have to be on the invite. Eventually, the main thing about the community, we had to get it kicked off the ground.

Right. Maintained by the community. I was maintaining it. You guys still have to purchase the stuff. If we're going to not purchase something, then that should at least start next year. So then people have opportunity, because we already have the seeds purchased. Seeds are done. And the plants, which will be 15 to 20 plants, will be over at Evansville. They'll be purchased through them. If that's how you guys decide to purchase it, it's three plants for $10. So it's literally going to be probably $40 in plants, maybe.

And I recall the majority of the annual cost was that soil amendment. Is that right?

Yes. It's always the amending of the soil. The seeds and that kind of stuff is, I think it was $36. I'd have to look back at my budget.

And I think that's the major intent was the major cost, which, like I said, is the soil amendment.

The mending of the soil is always more, but we've already put it in the budget. It's already there. Yet again, we voted on it tonight because that was already in the budget of Dan's budget because it's budgeted for every year.

I don't remember that line item, but okay.

It's not line item. It's just in his parks.

It's in the parks budget.

Yep.

If it's in the parks budget, then... but we are going to have to maintain a close eye on the water usage on it. If the town has to cut back on water and the parks, the lawns, everything else, the water to the garden gets cut back also.

Right. Well, we can't do 50%, can I? They're personal. I've been told.

And that would be a cutback.

Yeah. Yep.

the way i understand it is we don't even have to vote on it if it's been put in the budget and okay through the budget i don't see we have to do any action on it unless we vote not to do it well i'm a yes you need to realign the budget down

NO, WE DON'T. BUDGET ALREADY ACCOUNTED FOR THIS. IF YOU CUT SOMETHING FROM THE BUDGET. OH, IF WE CUT SOMETHING, YES.

IF WE DO A VOTE TO CUT.

WE HAVE TO AMEND THE BUDGET TO SHOW THAT AMOUNT. OH, YEAH. I THINK I LIKE THE MAYOR'S IDEA THAT IF THE TOWN DECIDES IT NEEDS TO CUT BACK ON WATERING FOR ALL OF THE PARKS, ALL OF THE TREES AND EVERYTHING ELSE, THEN THE GARDEN GETS CUT BACK BY THE SAME AMOUNT THAT THE OTHERS DO.
